	Jim Croce: Have You Heard: Jim Croce Live [DVD] - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Jim Croce was one of those troubadours, a storyteller in the old-fashioned sense who toiled in a series of blue-collar jobs until he hit it big, scoring a pair of number one singles and hitting the top 10 on the pop charts four times.
		Croce appeared a star in the making -- an unlikely star, given his unpretentious manner and what, in the pop world, was his rather advanced age (he was 29 when he finally broke through, having released two unremarkable albums in the 1960s).
		Croce told stories of the world in which he lived, a world of truckers and diners and soldiers on leave, singing them with a heart-felt sincerity that he was not afraid to wear on his sleeve.

		Jim Croce was one of the most superb songwriter/guitarist of his time.
		Jim was described by everyone who knew him as "an easy going, all around, nice guy." A lot of this is shown in the majority of his songs.

	Jim Croce: Facets - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But before Jim was a most famous mustachioed minstrel, he was a bald-faced newlywed in Delaware who received a most interesting nuptial present from his parents: $500 for this aspiring folkie to record and album (or perhaps to get the music business out of his system and to get a real, paying job).
		Croce did not leave uncovered any unpolished gems that rate in caliber along with the great work for which he is properly famous; instead we hear the different sides of his later musical styles begin to come together as Croce started to develop a manner all his own.
		Croce romps his way through these tracks with the same vivacity he brings to the old standard "Hard-Hearted Hannah (The Vamp from Savannah)", which could easily be the other-gendered blueprint for such similar anti-heroes as Leroy Brown and Jim.
